Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #65 *ARREST*

[Love Never Fails]

I believe that Suzanne had been planning to leave for a long time, but had been waiting for her daughters to grow up. If so, it's a great pity that she waited so long, as she might still be alive now.

Not sure about that. Her sister said Suzanne was excited about the move to Colorado. And she used her inheritance to invest in the Puma Path home.
I believe she came across serious information about Barry and some criminal activity, maybe even relating to Indiana. I also have wondered if she was fearful he might hurt their daughters. I feel it was a frightening time in her life, especially since she expressed that fear in a text to her sister the day before she died. Even her sister was fearful and deleted the text. Scary stuff.

Just to clarify. Malinda said she deleted the text because she was fearful of accidently sending it to someone else.

I was thinking about this very subject yesterday...the inheritance. It would be important to know the timeline of Suzanne's receipt of that inheritance. If she was excited to move to Colorado in 2018, some time before that inheritance was received...then she may not have had plans for Barry to sink it into the house....expecting instead, that his thriving business would suffice. However, later, Barry may have squeezed that inheritance out of her....which might have changed her outlook on the house, and its costs. She inherited a substantial amount of money...was it used as she originally intended? If not, well....

It would have behooved the guy “held hostage” in the concrete condo to have spent a little money on an attorney instead of preserving and enhancing his looks! That April 5 meeting by LE to show him 26 pieces of evidence would be a prime example of when an atty might have been beneficial along with the 3 30 hours of questioning of BM by LE. BM is a complete d***b@**. And for all those with “crushes” on the prisoner, sorry you didn’t get your fix of “seeing” BM on camera. Can’t wait for the Prelim and AA! Justice for Suzanne on the way with ONE TERABYTE of evidence! MOO

Barry sitting down with the FBI on April 5, is literally an attorney’s worst nightmare.

He answered questions over lengthy interviews prior to that, when law enforcement wouldn’t have had nearly as much evidence.

So inconsistencies in those previous interviews will be problematic, as will his explanations for the evidence he was confronted in that last one.

No wonder that AA is so damn long…

That is what i said. Melinda was fearful and deleted the text. If her sister was fearful of sending it to someone else, ask yourself why. It had to be bad.

You could be right. I'd imagine the original plan was to sell their Indiana house first. Then use that money to buy a new home in Colorado.

The use of her inheritance and borrowing money from her dad would not have been necessary.
I wonder if that bothered Suzanne.

Personally, I would sleep better at night if my new home had not been purchased with Moorman money, but that's just me. It may not have bothered BM.
Moo of course

I accept they have not found the body, I was caught off guard by no physical evidence. It seems that without a body or physical evidence. The only options left open for charging Barry, was him putting his foot in his mouth ad nauseum, until he couldn't unravel his own lies or there was a witness to her death/burial. IMO

If I recall correctly, they said something to the effect of “there is no physical evidence that proves Suzanne is dead.”

I never expected evidence like that existed in the first place.

That was also true in the Kelsey Berreth case. Blood was found, but it was not in the quantity that on its own, proved Kelsey was dead.

A tooth was found as well, but it could only be identified as a female tooth.

So physical evidence that proves death is very different than “no physical evidence.”

where was it specified that there is no physical evidence?

But all the evidence was not required to be presented at the discovery hearing, correct? Could be some physical evidence which challenges the defense attorney's comments.

They may not have everything at this point, as evidence may still be being processed. Regardless, the defense is likely playing a game of words here.

Thanks. That makes things a little more interesting.

It does open the door to there being physical evidence that Suzanne is dead, while at the same time not conclusively proving that someone murdered her (suicide perhaps).

Even so, I still don’t think they found proof that she is in fact dead.

Thanks for the further clarification. I would have though in lieu of a body that enough physical/tangible evidence would have to exist to prove death. Excellent point citing the Berreth case. I guess in a case where "brain matter" is discovered the fact that "matter" was found is the relevant point.
@fcavanaugh thanks for the exact quote, I've been looking for it again his morning before I posted but posted anyways.

Lest we forget:
"The Friday before Mother's Day, my sister had sent me a text message that morning. It was very lengthy. It was very powerful. It was very revealing,' Melinda said. 'She had been ready to share some things close to her chest. She said she was scared."

The Schelling case is a perfect example of a no-body case with next to no physical evidence.

That one was made on the back of cell phone evidence, surveillance video, witness statements, and the defendant’s own proven lies. I expect this case to be very similar to that one, with the exception of the massive investigative mistakes that forced CBI to save the day (local LE really dropped the ball).

They didn’t enter the picture until very late in the game, and that’s why I was so encouraged by CBI and the FBI being brought in so fast here.

I keep wondering if BM was involved in the medicaid ..nursing home..hospital fraud perpetrated in Indiana where landscapers (among many other vendors )inflated charges as a kickback to the CEO who allowed certain businesses to do work at their many facilities.
With the FBI going after the fraudsters THAT would be something to fear...IF BM participated in the fraud.
Google "Indiana, Medicaid fraud."
MOO

Actually, the Media Consortiums motion ("appeal") and the response ("No") were both sealed by the court pursuant to the language in C.R.C.P. 55.1(2) requiring that the clerk “make the motion [to limit public access] and the response inaccessible to the public pending the court's resolution of the motion,” and therefore not posted to the public court site.

However, in the court's Order denying the Media Consortium's Request for Reconsideration, the court has unsealed both documents.

I expect each will be uploaded to the public site when convenient to the clerk.

From the Order On Motion [DENIED] (D-7):

This implies that these documents could also be unsealed after the Court has granted the motion. Given the content of the Media Consortium’s Response, the Court will unseal it. As well as the Media’s Motion for Reconsideration.

Thank you very much. I had not read the judge's response.

Too bad that the Rule prevents the court from immediately releasing a Media response to the docket. Secrecy, secrecy, secrecy! And the Media cannot be trusted not to reveal something illegal or incorrect in their response....

I don't see the justification but then I don't think the judge here can be trusted anymore than any other party, including the media. So I am biased.
